He was fired from his job for stopping the vehicle to allow two Muslim passengers to pray. In India today, even an act of friendship and fraternity towards Muslims has become an act of deviance and a crime. This is far from the spirit foreseen by the founders of our constitutional republic.
Nuclear weapons tests, accidents at nuclear power plants, radioactive materials released from reprocessing plants, all have produced radioactive fallout that has contaminated the peoples of the world. We are all, in the words of Robert “Bo” Jacobs, the “Global Hibakusha”.
Latest reports on the devastating floods in Libya confirm 11,300 deaths, with 10,100 still reported missing. NATO’s military intervention in Libya in 2011, which overthrew the regime of Muammar Gaddafi, resulted in a chaotic and murderous failed state. That is the reason for the disaster.
A multipronged movement in Guatemala is rising to defend the surprise election of a progressive president who is under attack from the corrupt old guard.
Climate activists are closing out the hottest summer on record with hundreds of demonstrations worldwide, all blaring a unified message: “End fossil fuels.”
Ukraine has changed everything. Before Ukraine, America was number one, at least perception-wise. After Ukraine, American is number two economically, number three militarily, and this is a reality that the world is accepting. Russia knows this.
Western values seem to function intermittently, like a car’s indicator lights. For Ukraine, the right to resist invasion and occupation is sacrosanct. But not for the Palestinians.

Africa’s renaissance is already underway through partnerships with Eurasian powers Russia and China, whose significant contributions are already visible in security, economic, and institutional sectors throughout the continent.
Pakistan failed to develop into a bourgeois nation state, and Israel has no intention of becoming one.
After over three months of Thailand being put on hold as the country’s political adversaries tried to figure a way out of the surprising results of the May elections, a solution was finally reached among contending parties in the third week of August. It was a victory for the establishment.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
